I am currently renovating an old Victorian home from the late 1800s into apartments. It has this beautiful handrail for the staircase, but there are a couple problems with it. First, it’s a little wobbly. More wobbly than I want for a rental unit. Second, the height of the railing is a little shorter than code allows, or I am comfortable with in a rental. Has anyone dealt with this before? Is there some sort of solution where I can keep the old railing in place and make it safer without breaking the bank? I have considered enclosing it with another railing to keep the look, raising it, or adding a top rail above it. I am open to any ideas. TIA

@Michael Smythe Great tip! It seems as if it varies in each state or even municipality. Thanks!

@Tim Baldwin Good to know. That gives me a starting point! Thank you. 

I am currently renovating an old house into a 3 plex. I need to add apartment letters or numbers to the address. Other than contacting USPS, is there something I need to do at the municiple level? The property is in a city in Michigan in case that matters.

Hi Tanner
I’m in Kzoo and am open to working together. Message me and we can discuss further. 

What’s up Tanner. I’m in Kzoo. Message me if you want to connect. 

I currently manage my own Airbnb and have been asked to manage one for a third party. What is the going rate to manage an Airbnb? This is a summer rental on a lake in southwest Michigan. 

TIA

Congrats! That's great. What neighborhood are you in? I am also working in the Kalamazoo market. Also looking to team up to do some deals. 

I just closed on my first wholesale deal! I came across this one by luck and was able to make it work. I will have $1500 to put back into my marketing to get more deals. What specifically would you recommend for me to do to market for my wholesaling business? Direct mailing and a lead website are my initial thoughts but I want to hear your suggestions. 

Thanks in advance. :-) 

@Mac S. I can help. I will message you.
